My name is Nicole. I'm 16 years old, and I've been cooking since I was 10 years old. Probably because my mom couldn't cook to save her life. I'm self-taught, I guess I would say. I love food, I love to cook, and I just want to experiment with a lot of new things and get better at what I do. I love to make Italian food. Love love love it. I also love baking but sometimes I lack patience and the exactness that is usually required.. I've also been on the hunt for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipie for awhile now.. I'm still searching.
